Most exercises are assessments in and of themselves, when you know what to look for.
Watching a Squat illuminates hip mobility, a Pushup shows upper body + core integration, and watching someone bend over to tie their shoes tells a lot about the health of their low back and knees.
Today’s exercise shows both strength, stability and BALANCE in the lateral musculature of your body, including:
[+] Glutes
[+] Obliques
[+] Shoulders, specifically for overhead stability

Great stuff Eric, will have to get the SFS going first and unlock my tight shoulders for this one.
Great Eric!
Looks like a great exercise that I will definitely try. One question – once this exercise helps me identify muscle imbalances or weaknesses in one body part or side, how do I go about correcting it? Thanks
Love it. Definitely going to use it on my weight days.
